Sneezing is usually a sign of an upper respiratory infection - this is a very common problem in kittens. Because Tiger is so young, I would definitely recommend having him seen by a vet for this issue as soon as you are able to - he should be started on antibiotics to treat the infection and help prevent him from developing more serious problems, such as pneumonia.
